Women's Enterprise Fund
Fondo Impresa Femminile
Closed for now
The fund has been refinanced in successive budget laws and reopened with new sportello windows announced by MIMIT.
Mix of non-repayable grant and subsidised loan for women-led businesses; the aid intensity depends on whether the business is newly created or established and on the investment size.
